The Treaty of Versailles: The Treaty that Marked the End of World War I

Eager to seek revenge, the Allied powers came together to draft the Treaty of Versailles, which would see Germany pay reparations to the victors and the borders of former Empires redrawn. It was, however, a flawed agreement, and its economic and political consequences would be disastrous.

This book presents a condensed version or highlights of the Treaty of Versailles. If you are looking for much more content and detail you will need to read some of the many books available about WWI and how it was concluded. I have read a few books on WWI but far more on WWII. This book is a quick read that will lay out the background that all of the many books about WWI fit into. It explains how, although the Treaty of Versailles ended WWI, it set up conditions making WWII almost inevitable. Great book and quick read by 50minutes.com!
